There may be more I'm forgetting about...but that is three solid starters in key positions.

1. MW only played 5 games in 2011, the Texans D didn't miss a beat.

2. Vickers' blocking will be missed, but FB aren't that hard to replace. Not a big deal.

3. This is where the Texans are looking at serious trouble. In 2011 Houston had what was arguably the best o-line in the league. By the time they play their next game, 3/5ths of that unit could be gone. Yikes!

Not only the reasons above, but they also play in a terrible division. If the Titans don't get Manning, then Houston should roll to a division title. Jax and Indy will be awful, and the Titans likely won't be much more than mediocre.
